Description
One of Spain's best wines. Spicy, pungent, smoky aromas of cherry, plum and dark berries, along with complicating notes of tobacco, baking spices and musky underbrush. Lush and open, the dark fruit flavors show very good depth and breadth, with dusty tannins providing shape and spine. Finishes spicy, sweet and long, with an intriguing floral note emerging. A wonderful wine from one of Spain's premier regions. Bodegas Félix Callejo is located in Sotillo de la Ribera (Spain), at the heart of the famous "Ribera del Duero". Ribera del Duero is a Spanish wine-making region and Denominación de Origen (DO) on the country's northern plateau and is one of five wine regions within the autonomous community of Castile and León. Cellar this wine properly for a robust celebration in 2011!
